Greetings Leaders!

We’ve been plugging away at preparing for Drone Age and one thing has stood out to us that could perhaps use an update alongside it. Video Rewards have become a daily part of logging in, and we want to be able to reward that time spent with things that are worthwhile to you!

That being said, we wanted to give the community the opportunity to have a say in what rewards you’ll see in the future. Out of these six categories, what would you like to see the most?

Hey.
I would like to take this opportunity to say that there is abuse in the promotional videos.
Some videos are absolutely long at over 30 seconds with some as long as 50 seconds. Other videos with 2 ads in 1 and so many others that don't give rewards after the allotted time expires.
Over time you have increased the amount of promotional videos. There were 6 daily, they went to 8. There were 1 for a museum, they went to 2. There were 3 if Marco Polo, it went to 4. Except for Marco Polo, which has 1 daily token, the others increased terrible prizes for the time spent on seeing so many ads .
This discourages many players from wasting their time watching as it is not a good trade. I suggest regularizing the ads in a maximum of 20 seconds, offering a good match to the players and in this way both BHG and the players will win.
In any case, variations on troop tactics (no pirates or Sepoy 🤮), Council cards, coins and coalitions will be most welcome in the daily and Marco Polo videos. In museum videos, artifacts with at least 2 lines enabled would be a reward worth the effort.
I hope you can consider these suggestions.

Hopefully when you say 'blessings' you mean ones we don't get in the Temple
Totally feel free to voice what Special Blessings you'd like to see! This is entirely your opportunity to let us know what would be most impactful for you.

The blessing we would like to see are: air training, wall, medic, instant retrain.

These 5000 oil shipment rewards are good too. Just please don’t do the gold/oil/food shipment sizes that you can get from markets/refineries/mills. Those are to small. 500k+ food/gold and 5000 oil should be minimums.

I also agree on the videos. Some are around 1 minute, most are 40+ seconds. There are even videos that have the wrong orientation and so they don’t close at the end and you have to close and reload the game. I thought the videos were supposed to be 30 seconds. With 8 + 2 + 4 + 2 = 16 videos a day, that 45 seconds takes way to long. To watch them all we are at over 11 minutes now… (previous post forgot about the 2x retrain videos)

Speed-ups, Tokens and decent Tactics.

AND NOTHING INVOLVING RNG ODDS FROM A CHEST!!!!

Bad enough that the odds are so crap on everything that I heavily suspect a finger on the scales that isn't reflected in the odds given, I don't need to see "potential" rewards I know I'm not getting while earning you revenue. Just give us straight rewards for the videos.

Video rewards should be a straightforward transaction between the player and developer. You get our time for your imaginary product you can conjure from the aether so you can have their real money.

I’m generally wary of votes like this as you never see ‘Turkeys voting for Christmas’. But until The Council mechanics are improved further, I’d love to see more TT rewards. I’d also like to see new TTs and combo units please.

This is a good start.
And yes, speedups too. But please make them worthwhile. 5mins or 30mins is pointless for anyone in higher ages - I would say probably pointless to anyone above Enlightenment age.

Why are speed ups not even an option in the poll? They should be #1 easily and then crowns and troop tactics. Stop giving so many lame, pointless councilor cards…completely worthless with the current % chances of actually getting rare or higher.

By currencies, hopefully you meant crowns and speed ups, not food, gold or oil.

If you want us to vote on whats worthwhile why have you put such a crap list out?
Speedups
Factory troop tactics (and not crappy machine gun crap)
Aircraft troop tactics (transports fighters bombers or recon and not the balsa wood planes we currently get inundated with)

I think the best rewards are legendary tokens, speedups, crowns and then TTs. Should be worth it since you sneak in 2 videos in one reward, and sometimes you have to watch it again because it doesn't take the first time.

agree with others

1. legendary tokens
2. troop TT
3. Speed up


But no council card, no blessing except maybe instant retrain, no currency (except tokens, crowns), no mercs.
